Mashooka
Director: Afsal Ahmed Starring: Aditya Bal, Meghna Naidu
Music Director: Sajid-Wajid
Singers: Abhijeet, Alka Yagnik, Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan
There was a phase in the 90s when the movies from the TIME production house
used to be followed with great interest amongst the lovers of 'masala' movies.
Most of their movies used to be actioners and raked in 'moolah' at the box
office. After a longish lull, TIME presents 'Mashooka' that is produced and
directed by Afzal Ahmed. Aditya Bal makes his debut as a hero and looks each bit
a 'desi' hunk while Meghna Naidu and popular model Vidya Malavade ( Inteha ) are
the sirens opposite him. Combination of Sajid Wajid and Jalees Sherwani take
care of the music for the entire album. There is a surprise in the beginning of
the album itself with a complete English version of the title song ' Mashooka '
. A groovy track sung by Wajid, Nisha and Joy, it is of the kinds churned out by
Hollywood based albums that you hear on MTV/Channel V every passing day.
Extremely foot tapping, it has some bits of Hindi portions in the middle. The
number makes for an ideal dance number for a poolside setting. Call it lack of
expectations at the beginning but the track does turn you on right away. Hindi
version of ' Mashooka ' has even more spice in it and that could be attributed
to two factors – added zing in the musical arrangements and Sunidhi Chauhan's
presence who is peppy yet again. The song is of the kind that doesn't try hard
to do anything overtly different and sticks to the basics. You can enjoy the
number for few days or weeks and then move on! A conventional 90s style love
song ' Bechainiyan ' follows next that again doesn't hold any pretexts around
being different and still you can easily listen to it. The track by Alka Yagnik
and Babul Supriyo is a mushy 'I love you - you love me' kind of number that RGV
would love to spoof in his own inimitable way for his movies. Remember Company,
Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, Naach etc. where he has shown shooting of
conventional love songs around trees in progress! ' Bechainiyan ' sticks to the
requirement as T and works for those looking for a traditional 'hero-heroine
dancing around trees song'.
An even better song comes up next as ' Pyar Karna '. An Anu Malik style of music
all the way – be it the tune or the arrangements of the way Shaan and Sunidhi
Chauhan sing – it is yet another mushy love track that works quite well. Rich in
melody, it is quite pleasing to hear and brings a feel good feel. The best track
of the album so far, it showcases the talent of Sajid-Wajid once again after two
contrasting tracks in the shape of the title song and this number. One would
love to play it for a soothing feel. Mr. Selective Abhijeet, who hardly minces
any words while talking about his contemporaries, sings ' Aapse Mohabbat Ho Gayi
' that completes the trilogy of the 90s inspired mushy'n'melodious tracks. Yet
another track composed in Anu Malik style, it has both Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik
singing with perfection as ever. A hummable track, the music has a consistent
soft touch throughout while it is actually the chorus that sings the title
lyrics ' Aapse Mohabbat Ho Gayi '. All the songs in ' Mashooka ' entertain and
make the entire album an extremely satisfying affair. If one considers the album
with a neutral mindset without thinking too much about the movie as a whole, the
person won't be disappointed. One would have imagined that composer Sajid Wajid
and lyricist Jalees Sherwani may not really give the best of their tunes for
this low budget flick with a lesser popular starcast. But to everyone's
surprise, they stick to the basics and come up with a score that is pretty
decent and hummable.
